Trump spilled the beans about Corbyn during the press conference. Despite his virtue signalling by denouncing Trumps state visit and refusing to attend the dinner with him last night, Corbyn requested to meet him away from the glare of publicity.
Trump told him to far cough. 
The man is a pathetic disgrace and an embarrassment.

..................and then to make it worse, attended a mass rally of people who do not understand how our democracy has, and still is, protected by the USA and gives them the possibility of speaking out in public.  They should go and live in China were they are today banning any demonstrations on the 30th anniversary of Tiananmen Square!  That is THE difference of people whose democracy is protected by the USA and Trump and those that are not in the likes of China!!

Corbyn can never be PM as he is just a joke, and not a funny one!!

Trump or Corbyn?


Neither are up to much.

America, (Americans) voted for the President it (they) deserve. 

(Can be attributed to a certain Canadian Female Stand up Comic)

You can take that any way you like.

In the same way that London(ers) has (have) always voted for the Major it(they) deserve.   

Out of interest, did you know that there are less people living in the UK (of all nationalities) than there are without access to ANY health care at all in the USA?  That Donald thinks he shouldn't fix this before twittering shite, kind of proves what a heartless bastard he is. Don't you think? It's OOF so probably not.

Are there any politicians who are up to much?

I think you'll find that politicians get up to all sorts!

That is an amazing statistic.

Regardless of your thoughts on the way the NHS is run, I cannot see the British public allowing The USA into the NHS as part of a trade deal. That is my gut feeling. Might be academic though as parliament get the last say not the people as we now know.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I think there is a lot of hysteria about the USA, a possible trade deal and the NHS. 

What makes people think that the US government can force the UK to privatise the NHS?    It would be electoral suicide for any party. 

What is wrong with allowing US healthcare companies to tender for contracts that the NHS sub out as long as the NHS retain overall control? 

When the EU were negotiating TTIP with the USA, do people think that the EU (or UK) had ring fenced the NHS? 

If we stay in the EU, what happens when the EU inevitably decide to have a single healthcare policy across the EU?    I doubt many EU countries would be too keen to replicate our state monopoly. 

While I think that there are justified concerns about US Big Pharma putting pressure on for the NHS to abandon it's pricing policy for drugs so that they can charge more, all this talk about Britain having to flog off the NHS as the price for a trade deal is complete and utter 'dangle berries' IMO. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I completely agree. Its project fear chapter 462.
However, the EU has stated that over the next decade healthcare across the EU will be standardised. If anything could kill off our national religion (aka the NHS) that would be it.

Last time anyone looked, the US was not a Socialist State and nor does it pretend to be...

They have a welfare system, it's simply different to ours and everyone is supported upto the age of 18, after that, you are reasonably expected to stand on your own two feet. Also, no one is denied medical treatment, it's simply that it has to be paid for at some point and the more you can afford the better that treatment is likely to be. The better your health insurance the less you will be charged... Hardly ground breaking stuff.

You have to understand how the US is structured in order to understand how it functions, for example several states don't levy income tax, yet are amongst the best places to live in terms of services provided and quality of life whilst some of the most heavily taxed states are either amongst the smallest (ie Connecticut) or poorest (usually very badly managed as well ie Michigan).

Everything that gets taken for granted in the UK is funded by our taxes, whether it's the NHS or social housing for pregnant teens. It's still not actually free by any definition 

Being a yellow livered lefty millennial, it comes as no surprise that you don't like President Trump or what he represents. I would go as far as to say it scares the bejesus out of you probably because you expect everything to be provided for you rather than having to actually bear the responsibility yourself.

Incidentally, American citizens privately contributed more foreign aid than their government, but you won't read that in the Guardian. Nor will you be told that some of the most philanthropic people on the planet are actually a) American and b) self made 'capitalist pigs' *

No wonder so many people hate what Trump represents... 

*to coin a Socialist phrase.

I would suggest that you obtain and read Everyday Millionaires by Chris Hogan. It's also available as an audio book if reading isn't your 'thing'.
